Ngā Kākano (Foundation Class): Leah Drummond
When your child starts kura at Parklands School, they will begin in our Foundation Class - Ngā
Kākano. This is a transition class where students will learn all about school, in a space that is designed especially for them. A small class size gives us the opportunity to get to know your child and give them the skills they need before moving into a Year One class (either English or Māori Medium). Please come into the school office and ask if you would like to find out more!
